namedroppers(_at_)ops(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org is the mailing list for the ietf 
dnsext wg.  see
<http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsext-charter.html> for the wg
charter.
messages should be on topics appropriate to the dnsext wg, which are
various
discussion of the dns protocols or administrivia of the wg itself.  the
list
is moderated.

calls for papers, announcements of events not directly relevant to the dns
protocols, etc. are not appropriate.  discussion of problems with
particular
implementations, announcements of releases, sites' misconfigurations, etc.
should be done on mailing lists for the particular implementations.

there is a wg for dns operational practice, dnsop, whose charter can be
found at <http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsop-charter.html>.

there is a mailing list for discussion of whose implementation is better,
and why someone else's is broken.  it is 
weenie-war(_at_)ops(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_)  all
discussions of such nature should occur there or on /dev/null.  unlike the
namedroppers list, weenie-war(_at_)ops(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org is not archived.

discussion of this policy is a topic for the poisson wg.  poisson's
charter
can be found at <http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/poisson-charter.html>.

If your implementation is not compliant then you have three choices,
         1. Convince the working group to change the specification
         2. Update your incorrect implementation
         3. Discontinue distribution of non compliant software.

You forgot one:

           4. Continue distribution of noncompliant software

(this shall be henceforth be known as the Scorched Earth approach.)


The "toy" IPv4 Internet is a sewer.
IPv8 is designed to be a swamp to cover the sewer.
IPv16 is the "high-ground"....

...good luck in the sewer....
